Tanak - shows that there's some way to go from being talented to being factory material

His best finish on Monte after all these years and rallywins has been a 5th place until this week, clearly his weakest rally.Quote:

Yes Loeb with his speed and right tirechoices was far ahead... as has been the case for quite a few years in Monte.
All in all very good performance from Petter.
So, manufacturers points after MC (note that points shown in Eurosport were incorrect, they also added PS points to the teams and did not took into account the privateers )
1 Citroen 37
2 Mini 26
3 M-sport 16
4 Ford 15
5 Armindo Araujo WRT 4
6 Palmeirinha 2
M-Sport is 1 point ahead of Ford :-)
I am not necessarily sure that he would be a "force", but I think he would be competitive everywhere he went, unlike Henning Solberg and Matthew Wilson, for example. As far as expecting more from him, you have to bear in mind he is almost 50 years old, and hasnt been near WRC machinery for years. I would love to see him back in the WRC this year.Quote:

My review of MC :
- very disappointed by JML... he crashed, once again, he really needs to understand that he has to finish the rallies... what's your point of view? it really starts to upset me actually! ford will never be manufacturer champ with him to be honest...
- shame that ogier crashed, it would have been nice to see what position he would end up at the end of the rally. One good thing is he is not in the S2000 to just improve his pace note, he was on maximum attack as you can see on the crash video. So it looks good for the rest of the season, really look forward to see what he will do next.
- Campana, did very well I personally think.
- Shame that nobody did a "special thing" for the spectator at the turini. I was expecting delecour to do a donuts or something like that... This is missing in the modern wrc unfortunately...
So overall, a bit disappointed that the rally was over after ss4...
Let's think about sweden now!
Have fun, see ya dudes.
My 3 days rally went very well and i was again amazed by the number of fans from various nationalities following the event, i think it's unique in the calendar.
The Turini was exciting at night despite the lack of snow, the cars quickly jumped the col at full speed.
Fantastic scennery and atmosphere, you really have to be there for the engines sound amplified by the rocks, it's evil.
Waiting and walking onto the next stage, the quest for the ultimate best watching location, sharing "vin chaud", endless discussions with rally freaks, rally action... Great moments in life. :up:
